Romelu Lukaku: 5 reasons it's too early to write him off

#3 Staggering levels of fitness

Tireless Lukaku

In the last 3 Premier League seasons, Romelu Lukaku appeared for Everton in 37,37 and 36 matches respectively. In the season before that, he appeared 31 times. And 98% of these came as a starter.

Red Rom roams around the field and works the shift to the very end every single night. He has not been sidelined at all. Lukaku's ability to stay fit is one of his strongest attributes and something that has helped him bag all those goals that he has in the past.

Even if he is going through a rough patch and doesn't score for a series of games, you can expect him to bounce back because he is there for the entire season and boy, the winter doesn't last forever.

At the end of the season, Lukaku will have played 35 odd games and racked up more than 20 goals and suddenly the slumps are forgotten and folks are running around looking for gold dust.
